NEWCASTLE | 18 OCT 2025 | DOORS 7PM SHOW 8.30PM | TICKETS £16.50 HERE

Joe and his wife are having a baby. He's autistic so statistically it's quite likely the baby will be too. In this new show, critically acclaimed comedian Joe Wells explores fatherhood through the lense of neurodiversity. Plus, there’s a really good joke about a parrot. As seen on: Rosie Jones’ Disability Comedy Extravaganza, BBC Two’s Ouch Storytelling Live and Channel 4’s Jokes Only a Neurodivergent Can Tell. 'Some of the most surprising and thought-provoking material coming from any comedian' (Guardian). Over 20 million online views.

'One of my favourite comics' (Frankie Boyle).
